The International Cricket Council's (ICC) official Twitter handle took a cheeky dig at England fans as Australia were on their way to retain the Ashes.

Steve Smith starred with the bat as Australia thrashed England by 185 runs in the fourth Test to retain the Ashes. It has been a magical return to the Test arena for the former Australia captain since completing a 12-month ball-tampering ban. Smith and David Warner have had to contend with a hostile, boisterous English crowd who have taunted and mocked the Australian duo at every given opportunity but the Australians had the last laugh, restoring their national pride 18 months on from the reputation-shattering scandal. Former players and fans hailed Steve Smith, labelling him the "best". The International Cricket Council (ICC) too tipped their hats to the Australian by taking a cheeky dig at the English fans.

Before the start of Day 5 of the fourth Test, ICC's official handle tweeted a picture of an English spectator wearing a Steve Smith mask with a crying face on it and used the definition of "karma" as text for their tweet.

Steve Smith scored 211 and 82 in the fourth Test to take his tally for the series to an astonishing 671 runs at an average innings of 134.2, including three hundreds, despite missing England's one-wicket win in the third Test at Headingley with concussion.
